Your Part in the Story of God

Question to think about: What words describe your part in the story of God?

I am officiating at a funeral tomorrow for an individual that has been described as "tough, forgiving, and loving." Using the words, "tough," with the words, "loving and forgiving" is unusual. The family explained their beloved family member endured tough circumstances with forgiveness and unfailing love for people, including the individuals who created trouble in the tough times.

Our life is a story told with specific words and has a part in the story of God. So, what words would describe your part in the story of God?

The word, "unbelief," is a part of Zacharias' story. There were consequences to his unbelief:
The people were waiting for Zacharias, and were wondering at his delay in the temple. But when he came out, he was unable to speak to them; and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he kept making signs to them, and remained mute. (Luke 1:20-21, NASB)

Think about your part in the story of God.
What words describe you?
What words would you like to describe you?
Give up one thing (fast) until the New Year for more time and clarity with God . . . ask God for words that define your purpose.
Live out the words of purpose on a daily basis.

Learning with you how to live out the story of God.
Shalom,
Kerrie
